Blue Moose Pizza, 188 South coming to New Braunfels

Colorado Restaurant Group GROUP970 has plans to open two restaurants in Texas this summer.

“We have so many loyal customers from Texas here in the Vail Valley it seemed natural to expand to a place where many guests that
enjoy our product can continue to be our guests a little closer to home,” owner Brian Nolan said in a press release.

Nolan will open Blue Moose Pizza and roll out a new concept, 188 South, at 188 S. Castell Ave. in New Braunfels. They should be open by July.

Blue Moose Pizza features pizza, salads, subs and hot Italian entrees. According to the website, the details have yet to be finalized for 188 South, but “the menu will incorporate fresh, modern Italian standards, such as burrata, roasted olives, flat breads and fresh pastas, all infused with local Texas ingredients. ”

Nolan has previously managed restaurants in Houston, Dallas, Austin and College Station. Chef Jay McCarthy, who previously has lived in San Antonio, Austin and College Station, and has served as the GROUP970
corporate chef for the past eight years, will return to Texas to open the restaurants.
